2. One kind of story that probably will forever be a part of the news is the kind of story concerning various arrests and criminal prosecutions for insider trading, Ponzi schemes and so forth. When these arrests have occurred, whether we are talking about Ivan Boesky, or Martha Stewart, or Bernard Madoff, the people that get into tremendous trouble are, somehow, often amongst the most successful people out there. An extremely successful trader apparently worth $1.4 billion or so, Raj Rajaratnam, was arrested recently for insider trading. He allegedly made around $20 million from those dealings. If people like Boesky, Stewart and Rajaratnam are already so successful, what drives them to commit these insider trading sorts of crimes?
3. I Would Argue That The Reason That These People Were Successful… To begin with is because each of them has made the very most that they could out of their assets. Their assets include people, information, their charm, determination and all sorts of other things. The problem with each of these people, however, is that they utilize too many assets, and they utilize these assets in the wrong way, pushing too far.
4. It Does Not Take A Good Education To Make The Most Of Your Assets It does not require that you live in a big city. It does not require that you be from a certain social class. Anyone can make the most of their assets and everyone out there should. You absolutely need to make the most of every asset that you have. This is what the most successful people in the world do and what the most successful businesses do. Back in the 1970s Entrepreneur Magazine was a small, struggling newsletter that came out once a month and featured a long write-up on one or two good business opportunities. After these newsletters were published, the publishers did nothing with them. The newsletter was struggling and decided to hire a consultant to help them increase their revenue, so they could survive.
5. The Consultant Realized That The Magazine Had… An incredible resource with all of these old issues. By adding some boilerplate introductions and some other readily available material to each newsletter they had already done, the consultant told the magazine they could produce various “how-to” manuals that would teach people how they could start various businesses. All the magazine needed to do was print and ship this information to people who would order it. Within a few years, the magazine turned the “start up manual” business into a $20 million a year business.
6. They did this simply by using their existing assets. You need to take an aggressive inventory of your assets and utilize all of them. What assets do you have?
7. Several Years Ago I Went Into Contract On A House… That had not been on the market for very long. While the house is probably worth less today than it was when I decided to purchase it, at the time it was a good buy; it was a foreclosure. It was a strange house in many respects. For instance, it was missing a heating and cooling system (apparently this had been ripped out and sold prior to the foreclosure) and needed a lot of work in general. However, despite the fact that the house was sold in the middle of a renovation, it was still nice, and it was a good deal.
8.
9. The guy who fled this house had somehow convinced hundreds of people to give him tens of millions of dollars. People like schoolteachers, business people and others, who drained their savings. With the money he was given he did things like stay in $10,000 a night suites in the most expensive hotels in Paris (I know this because we receive lavish Christmas cards in the mail from these French hotels each year), rent charter jets, purchase Lamborghinis, invest in incredibly expensive ocean front lots, and host lavish parties.
10. I Have Never Understood Ponzi Schemes… And why people fall for them, but I have heard stories about these for as long as I can remember. There is not only one Bernard Madoff; there are people like this guy all over the world and probably in any decent-sized community anywhere. This guy was only in his early 30s when he did all of this, and he had been running a giant Ponzi scheme for some time before he was caught. He was caught, incidentally, because a few extremely sophisticated businessmen he had fleeced for a few million dollars went after him and forced him to file bankruptcy. Once he filed bankruptcy, everyone wanted their money back, and then the FBI and others got involved because he could not pay it back.
11. When I moved into this house, I got to know the financers who foreclosed on the property, and they told me that the guy was one of the smartest people they ever met. In addition, one of them said that he even offered the guy a job because he was so impressed with him. Everyone who knew the man said that they had never been so impressed with anyone.
12. While Most People Believe There Are Only Lessons In… “ What to avoid” when you read about criminals like this, there are also lessons in what these people did right as well . Obviously, the incredible fortunes and respect each of these people had prior to their arrests came out of something that they did right . That is to say, each of these people were not “all criminal,” and each of them were doing something right that enabled them to rise to some level of success. While they eventually went too far in committing various crimes, they also did something right.
13. Bernard Madoff Did Not Go To A Good Business School, For Example… Or have any of the qualifications that are important to the elite of Wall Street. I do not think the guy who used to live in my house ever went to college. Both Ivan Boesky and Raj Rajaratnam were considered “outsiders” on Wall Street. Nevertheless, these people all got thousands of people to invest billions of dollars. These people made the most of their assets. It is a shame they eventually took a dishonorable path; they probably could have achieved far greater success without cheating others
14. My Intention Is Not To Glorify These Criminals What I am trying to show you, though, is that you can rise very high and very fast if you make the most of your assets. You should not, of course, commit crimes, but you do need to make the most of your assets. When I go to a party, or meet people, I do not see that the people there could all hire me, or give me millions of dollars. However, if I had the mindset of a Ponzi scheme operator I probably would look at the world this way. I would see the world in terms of assets . If this sort of mindset works for people who are doing something dishonest, imagine what it can do for you if you are honest. Seeing the incredible assets the world offers could literally transform your life.
15.
16. It Is Generally Pretty Important In Your Career And Life To… Be able to pick something and stick with it. Many people believe that if they try something and it does not work out easily, they should just try something else. The problem with this sort of thinking is that each time you do something new you need to build up a fresh new set of assets to help you achieve it. There is nothing wrong with copying others, or seeing what others are doing that works and does not work. When people start looking for a job, or they go through any sort of change in their lives, they start looking at what others around them are doing. They observe who is successful and who is not, and grab on to different sorts of jobs that may or may not suit them.
17. I have seen the serious and gifted lawyer become a salesperson. I have seen the successful and gifted salesperson try to get a job sorting numbers in an accounting office. I have seen the person gifted in the sciences take a job with the family construction firm. I have watched a tremendous number of people in my life move from career to career and do various things that they are not good at, and then do something else they are not good at–again and then again. I think that jumping between professions and jobs is something that can teach you a lot when you are young; however, once you get into your 30s and start moving through life, this is extraordinarily dangerous and generally counterproductive, unless these moves make the most of your existing assets.
18. The most successful people make the most of the assets that they have, and this one characteristic is what separates them from the crowd. Make the most of your assets and the right opportunities will find you.
